    Ski 2

    Brand: Fillauer

    The SkiTrek attaches to a ski pole and can be used passively or with a cable for quick, precision pole plants. Useful for Nordic (cross-country) skiing where upper body strength is required for propulsion and in Alpine (downhill) mogul skiing. Helps maintain balance and body posture. Useful in lift lines and for general maneuvering, skating, etc. Also applicable to mountaineering when used with a hiking/trekking pole. The device does not have a pole break-away system but does have a quick manual detach and the pole will tear free if snagged from behind and can be easily removed for chair lift safety. The pole is held in retracted position by an adjustable tension elastic bungee until extended by a cable pull. Universal right or left fit. It has a standard ½ inch diameter threaded mounting connector to fit most standard wrist openings.
